Use the imagery to let go of debilitating patterns, set self-protective limits with people in your life, or sever ties with someone altogether. Either way, you can do so with greater feelings of empowerment, self-compassion, and inner peace.

So many “nice” people struggle with whether it’s okay to say, “no,” establish and maintain boundaries, or say goodbye to problem people and situations. And whether the challenging relationship in question is from long ago or the present time, we can wind up feeling weighed down by guilt, shame, anger, or other painful emotions whenever we think of saying, “Enough is enough!” And even if we officially move on, our attachment to what is familiar, even if it’s painful, can lead to ongoing suffering long past the formal end of a relationship.

In this audio program, you’ll notice threads of mindfulness and self-compassion woven throughout the imagery to help you remain centered and calm as you evaluate difficult relationships and patterns from a place of healthy detachment. Going at the pace the feels best for you, you can assess which relationships require better boundaries, setting these as you see fit. If it’s time to say goodbye for good, both the imagery and releasing ritual can help you close the door behind you so you can move forward, feeling healthier, happier, and freer.
